The River Front.

The facing of the levee with piling
is being pushed along quite rapidly
and the work has been carried to a
considerable distance south of First
street. As soon as the piles are all
driven the facing will be completed
with heavy timbers, SO as to prevent
the river from washing away the
earthern embankment. On the other
side of the river the levee is beginning
to assume proportions, and Contractor
Burlingame's teams are hard at work
endeavoring to complete it before the
winter sets in for good. Only few of
the property-owners on First street
east of Alameda have moved their
fences back to the new line of the
street, but it is stated that others in
tend to do the same at an early date.

ROBERT w. WATERMAN. ,
Brief sketch of the Man Who
Succeeds to the GOvern0rshfp.

Succeeds to the GOvernorshtp.
By the death of Governor Bartlett
the duties of the Office for the unex-
pired term fall upon Robert w. Water
man, who was chosen Lieutenant
Governor at the last election.
The State Constitution provides for
the Gubernatorial succession as fol-
lows:
In case of the impeachment of the
Governor or his removal from Office,
death, inability to discharge the powers
and duties of the said office, resignation
or absence from the State, the powers
and duties of the office shall devolve
upon the observation-disclosures for the
residue of the term, or until the disa-
bility shall cease. But when the Gov
ernor shall, with the consent of the
Legislature, be out of the State in time
of war, at the head of any military
force thereof, he shall continue Com
mander-in-C Chief OF all the military
forces in the State.
Robert w. Waterman, who, by the
untimely taking off of Governor Bart
lett. will now be called upon to dis
charge the duties incumbent upon the
Chief Magistrate of this common
wealth, was born in Herkimer county,
N. Y, in the year 1926. His early
childhood and youth were spent in
Illinois, but when the gold fever
swept over the land young Water
man fell victim to it, and the year
1850 found him in this State. He did
not remain on the coast long, how
ever, and returned to Illinois. In
1854 he was member of the famous
Convention which assembled at
Bloomington. Lincoln, Oglesby, Dick
Yates and Lyman Trumbull were
members of this Convention, which
was practically the birthplace of the
Republican party. In 1860, Mr.. Wa
terman returned to California,
and purchased q ranch near
San Bernardino, but his farming
experience does not appear to have
been very remunerative, for in 1873
we find him prospecting in the Mojave
desert, pick and shovel we'll nigh his
only assets. A lucky accident enabled
him to discover a silver bearing ledge,
which subsequently developed into
the Calico Mining District. The Bar
stow silver mine, on the line of the
Atlantic and Pacific Railway, is owned
by Mr.. Waterman, and his mining
interests net him handsome income.
Recently he purchased large ranch
near San Bernardino, and devotes
much attention to fine stock rails
ing. During the last Presiden-
tial campain Mr.. Waterman, in
company with Richard Gird, a
former miner, built Republican wig
wan at San Bernardino and equipped
three companies of plulned knights.
On the 9th of August, 1886, in the
Republican State Convention assem-
bled at Los Angeles, George A.
Knight, holding proxy from Mendo-
cino county, nominated Mr.. Water
man for utenant-Governor; 229
votes were necessary for choice, and
on the first ballot Mr.. Waterman re-
ceived 2391a votes. At the polls he
defeated his Democratic rival, M. F.
Tarpey, by vote of 94,969 to 80, ,476.
In appearance Mr.. Waterman is of
thickset figure, weighing about 200
pounds. He wears full beard. His
election to the nt-Governor-
ship placed him in the first public
office lac ever held

Sewerage and sewage.

The system Of sewerage Of the city,
proposed by the City Surveyor, Fred
Eaton, was warmly endorsed by the
HERALD as soon as completed, and
has since been endorsed by Rudolph
Herring, the well-known sanitary
engineer. The system seems to meet
with favor from the Mayor and the
City Council, and will doubtless be
carried out. Los Angeles is soon te
be great city, and the system O
sewerage cannot be completed toe
soon. The outlet or outfall OF sewage
must be removed to the seashore
and the most available locality ap
pears to be on the Sausal Redonde
rancho.

Contractor Scheerer yesterday COM
menced operations on Main street,

at the intersection of the above streets
and commenced the removal of the
cobble cutters. In day or two these

For the HERALD AND NEWS

Mr.. Editor: Having been silent for
several weeks, and as / told you in my
last communication that 1 would let you
hear from me again when the weather
got warmer, and as this is such beau
tiiul spring day l will do so. The health
here is extremely good. The mill is
running smoothly along; goods all sold
as soon as manufactured. An additional
boiler has been ordered and will be at
tached at an early day when we hope to
have no more stoppage of the mill. The
hot supper at the residence of Mr.. Floyd
for the benefit of Union Chapel, on Sat-
urday night last proved to be a success.
twas literally patronized by nearly all
of the operatives. Cake raffies, fishing
ponds, speeches and dialogues were the
order Of the night. A Baptist congrega-
ton was organized in Union Chapel on
factory grounds on SUNDAY afternoon
the 10th inst, at o'clock, with twenty
two members. The dsacons of the
church, with clerk, were elected. The
organization sermon was delivered by
Rev. Langston, followed by Rev. Scott,
both addressing the congregation ably
and suitably for the occasion. Divine
service was held in the church on Sun
day night, and three additional members
were added to our list. Protracted SER
vice will be held at this Chapel at night
during the week by Rev. Langston and
Rev. Huggins. May God bless all their
efforts, and give us strength in our newly
organized church. Bro. Il. y. Leavell
will receive our heartfelt gratitude for
two chairs and table, donated to our
church. Yours truly,

EXCELSIOR NOTES.

Some of our farmers have commenced
anting cotton this week.
Last Sabbath was beautiful day. How
many We're absent from church that
should have been present?
Rev. NJ. NJ. Kinard, after having spent
Il few days of the past week at home
went down to Columbia Saturday to par
ticipatc in the appropriate Easter services
held in EbcneZer Lutheran church
Sabbath, returning to Newberry on
Monday to resume his studies at the
Seminary.
Owing to the busy season Of the year
but few Of the people in our section at
tended the Union meetings. held at
Prosperity in Grace Lutheran church
1 lring the past week. The services
have been interesting from beginning to
end, and it is to be hoped have accom-
plished much good. What blessing it
is when Christian laborers unite hand in
hand working for the Masters cause.
We were sorry indeed to learn Of the
sad death Of Mr.. Jacob B. Long. The
deceased was formerly near neighbor
to the writer and none knew him but to
love him. In his death, the wife has lost
a kind husband, the children a. loving
father, and this community 4 worthy
citizen. BE We also ready for in such
al hour rs yc think not the son OF man
cometh."
The Excelsior school observed good
Friday. A great many OF the farmers
also observed the day. We would like
to ask the question, why is it some OF the
farmers claim it is wrong to work in the
farm on good Friday, but yet they will
60 to town and do their trading and
spend the day in this manner, selling
chickens, shingles, cotton, etc., Is this
keeping the day holy: Is it any more
harm for the farmer to continue his work
on good Friday than to 60 to town and
spend the day in this manner. We Just
make mention Of this as great many Of
our farmers claim it is so very wrong to
work on that day. We are only COM
manded to keep one day holy. Re
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy, six days shalt thou labor and do all
they work. Does this include good
Friday? Il think not" SIGMA.

TIE PRESBYTERIAN
Rev. William Hayne Leavell.

Newbcrry feel, 4 just pride in her
young men. Whether they cast their
lots among>t her own people or try
their fortunes in foreign fields, she still
watches their successes with pleasure.
We sometimes think we are little slow
in appreciating or acknowledging genu-
inc merit in our own people, who are
here with us, or who are laboring in
other States, and il pressing their claims
for recognition in matters Of Church and
State. We 60 too often after strangers,
and overlook the claims and virtues OF
Cur own people.
Rev. William Hayne Leavcll, who is
now on visit to Ncwberry, is one of
our own boys. Having been away from
Newberry for several years, and in
view OF the reputation he has made for
himself as an eloquent pulpit orator, 4
short sketch of his life and work may
not be amiss ut this time. Few, il any,
young men, who have left Newberry
and gore into the world, have done more
for themselves than he, and Newberry
should feel proud of him.
He is 4 son Of our townSman, Col.
John 4. Leavell, and is in his j7th
year. He never had the adval :,,"S Of 4
college education, and as he himself
says, WAS not educated except, as lie has
educated himself by hard study and
close application since he entered the
ministry. He was in Newberry College
during the war and left the institution
in JnHe. 1850, having possibly gone
through tie sophomore class. At this
time his health failed and he went on
his fathers farm for one year, and in
the fall Of 1867, having been converted,
aid deciding 10 enter the ministry, he
went to the Southern Baptist Theolog-
ical Seminary, thea located at Green
vile, and prosecuted his studies there
for nearly three years, but Just before
graduation his hcal;h again failed and
he returned home. He then took charge
of a mission work in the Yorkville AS
sociation, and afterwards acted as as
si<tant financial agent of Furman Uni
versitv. In 1871 he preached in this
county. He then took charge OF the
Baptist church at Huntsville. Texas,
